The End is Near (and we deserve it). . . . Chinese Women “Occupy” Toilets

China’s ‘occupy toilet’ protests spread

Fed up with the long lines at the ladies’ rooms next to the absence of lines at the men’s rooms, Chinese women are having their own “Occupy” movement by occupying men’s rooms as a way of protesting. They are demanding equal time, or lack thereof.

What do you think? Should American women try this one? Especially at sporting events?

Foods for a Beautiful Brain by August McLaughlin. You’ll be surprised at some of the foods on this list that can help your brain be its best. The only flaw I can see in it is the absence of bacon. That has to be a mistake.

A little known Piper Fact. I love rabbits. So when I saw this video of a Swedish rabbit that takes charge of the barnyard and herds the sheep, I had to share it with you. It had me laughing through the whole thing. I especially like how the sheep dog and the farmer hang out and and watch through a lot of it. Meet Champis, the sheep herding rabbit.

I know of several smaller establishments with unisex bathrooms and no problems. I think larger places like movie theaters and sports complexes would have a harder time with them, particularly as locations for assaults to occur. Thanks for dropping by, Noel, and sharing your thoughts. 🙂

Lol. Okay. So let’s look at the practical mechanics of this. Even if women were strictly business, strictly business in heels, pantyhose, slacks, jeans, or dresses is still going to take more time than, well, a zipper for a guy. Then there are other time-consuming issues, such as whether or not there is toilet paper, and how long it takes to make the little seat cover, because I’m sure we’ve all gotten that email that goes around about how many germs and tiny animals grow in such places. There’s also the extra fuss time if the door doesn’t properly close or latch. So even under the best of circumstances, I will estimate that women need at least twice, if not three times the amount of time that men do, and, therefore, should have at least twice as large a restroom as the men. 🙂

Isn’t Champis a hoot? Thanks so much for stopping by and giving me a smile, Tameri.

Rabbits are mean little beasties. I know, I’ve had a few of them as pets. If that rabbit doesn’t like you, then look out, because Fuzzy Bunny will be chewing on your ankles! It looks to me like Champis has claimed the barn as his den, and he doesn’t want the sheep in there. Sheep have a difficult time seeing objects low on the ground near their feet, so Champis gets in there and bites the sheep’s feet. BTW, it’s the song along with that vid that makes it so hilarious.

Lol. I thought the song made it, too. I wondered if the rabbit is pulling a Charlotte’s Web trick, herding sheep to avoid going into a pie. Great point about sheep not being able to see things close to the ground. I hadn’t thought about that. Thanks for stopping by, Vila. Good to see you. 🙂

LOL Bacon, hmm. Well, the brain does require protein, B-vitamins and iron. But the saturated fats, er, um… Have you considered baked tofurkey bacon? Salmon bacon? Or wait, the BEST stuff—broccoli sausage. (One can never have enough ‘o that.)

Thanks so much for including me here, Piper! I think the Chinese women would benefit from Natalie’s how-to-pee-standing-up for gals post…

Great idea about Natalie’s post. I should repost it here with lots of negative comments about China to pull in the Fifty Centers. Then they can spread the word. Thanks so much for stopping by, although you did use offensive language. Salmon bacon? That makes my brain bleed. 🙂

Thanks for the rabbit video! I’ve been begging the hubby to get a rabbit for the past couple months, he keeps saying no (of course)…but maybe I could convince him if the rabbit could do something cool. Like drive him to work.

OMG Piper! That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! What a ballsy little rabbit. He could’ve gotten stomped on at any moment. My guess is he mimicked what he saw the dog doing. Thanks for sharing this and reminding me to add Bunny to my wish list once I get my farm 😉 hehe!

The Occupy article was just ridiculous. Seriously! It’s kinda funny. Thanks for all the other great links too.

I love that rabbit, for sure. I’ve watched that video three or four times in the past week, and I sit and laugh through the whole thing, which could be more of a statement about me than I should make online. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by, Ingrid. 🙂
